This message is to let everyone know that I will have a familiarization sail on J/109 Vento Solare Wednesday. Boat call time is 5pm. The boat is located in slip A-49 at the Navy Marina.

Please meet 4:45pm at the Navy Base Pass & ID parking lot 1377 Cloyne Ct, Newport, RI 02840. This is on the right just before the causeway by the main gate. Someone will drive people without access on base.

Everyone will join and we will go out and run through some evolutions upwind with the jib and downwind with the spinnaker. For this practice we will not rig jacklines, but I do expect all to wear PFDs.

I expect this to complete no later than 7pm back at the dock. Please feel free to email, call or text with any questions.
